Hello everybody.
In almost every game of Stars, warships become obsolete very fast. So fast that sometimes just flying to your opponent's space makes them outdated. That gives no occasion to fight a real war with anything smaller than battleships. So here is an idea to counter it:
"Longevity"
- Medium/Dense/Distant (or smaller, depending on # of players).
- AccBBS, Slow Tech Advances, Random Events.
- CA banned.
- every race must take BET, GR and not-cheap weapons.
- no pre-game alliances.
- no cheats allowed, except chaff and fleet split.
- winner by players vote.
- ideally 5 turns a week, but we'll see.
- host will be playing.

I was toying with a similar idea a while ago. Reading threads about BET made me realise that a lot of players would be unhappy with the cost that would impose on Nubians. So I decided that I would ban the Nubian-hull completely if I offered a game with obligatory BET. Might be an idea for this game too...
|
Why ban Nubian? It carries its own penalty, so if someone wants to pay double the costs, let them go for it. Those threads are about why people don't optionally take BET, so I can't see how you'd make players any happier about BET by the ban.
Banning Nubians might make some sense if you were leaving BET optional but trying to encourage it.
I actually think the idea solution would be a game change to make Nubians construction tech 25 rather than 26 - BET would still have penalties, but be useful.
I played a duel once with expensive weapons, BET, Slow Tech, and no fuel mizer allowed, and I think construction had to be at least normal too. I think that idea worked pretty well (although the duel didn't last long enough to really test the idea, as the other person surrendered within a week).
This would be a fun game I think, but I won't be around all year, so I can't join  .
